Our Work
Our Clients
Fixing And Production Support
Film fixers are essentially general production support specialists. They work on a fixed salary and labor day and night to solve problems in a local setting. Hiring a film fixer is essentially like hiring an extra producer, only one with unrivaled knowledge of local cultures, customs, laws, and legislation. Film fixers are often most useful in the pre-production phase when securing locations, permits, and hiring local crew and equipment. However, a good film fixer will remain on call and ready for action all the way until a visiting production has completely wrapped.
Location Scouting And Management Fixer Services
Here at Wind Up Films, we’re often asked what specific duties a Hong Kong film fixer is tasked with. And the answer is always another question: what do you need? Film fixers are ready to go to work before the visiting production crew has boarded an outbound flight to HK from their home country. Fixers scout locations and liaise with property owners and managers. Even absentee landowners are often tracked down by our enterprising fixers, who thrive on working in an environment that is challenging and dynamic. Fixers can attend to a host of other tasks as well, including reasoning with reluctant documentary interview subjects. Once fixers scout out the best locations for you, their job is not finished, however.
There’s more. Fixers also remain on-hand during principal photography, acting as location managers if need be. They are well-connected with the local film industry and well-known among transportation and logistics personnel. Film fixers continually problem-solve and help improve communication among all departments, which smooths out the production process.
Hong Kong Permit Fixing Services
When setting up your next production in Hong Kong, film fixers can help obtain all the proper permits. This is of vital importance, in order to prevent authorities from delaying production. Film fixers know which offices to go to, which officials to contact, what forms to fill out, and what fees to pay. Because Hong Kong film fixer professionals have boots on the ground year-round, they have an unsurpassed knowledge of permitting processes. Hong Kong is notoriously permissive to film production because its laws have always been business-friendly. However it’s still necessary to navigate some bureaucratic obstacles, and film fixers maximize efficiency.
This is not limited to location permits. Fixers can also help with obtaining the proper visas for visiting crew members, as well as with the import of equipment if necessary.
Equipment And Crew Hong Kong
Okay, so lets recap. Locations are chosen. Perhaps you want to shoot your next comedy or drama from a rooftop hotel bar on Hong Kong Island or the Kowloon Peninsula. And thanks to a Wind Up Films fixer, all the permits and licenses are in place. Still, there’s the important matter of renting the latest generation production gear and hiring a crew who knows how to get the most out of it. Again, a Hong Kong film fixer will go above and beyond the call of duty. If you need an ARRI or Red, a crane or a jib, or even wire slings for high-flying, death-defying stunts, it’s all a phone call away for a film fixer. With such indispensable professional assistance, you’re sure to get all the coverage you need.
